Artist's Comments

Woman on a morning stroll. Her costume is not historically accurate at all, obviously. Just playing around at some kind of pseudo-Asian clothing. Also, I wanted this drawing to have a weird compressed or flattened look. I think it does, for the most part.

Playing around with some Photoshop features on this one. This is the first time I tried using the pattern overlay (on her dress), and um, I don't think I'll be using it much after this. It isn't very fun at all. The only reason I stuck with it this time is because it does make the cloth look nice and flat. But considering I don't usually want flat looking dresses, in the future I'll stick to my old way of doing it.

Anyway, the usual. Drawn from sketch to finish on Photoshop. No references. Took about 7 hours. I may eventually make a print out of this, but I'd have to clean up the fullres version first. It's kinda messy.

I really like the marble like frame work you have in it. The figure is excuisite, especially with the flowing strands of hair the way you have them. This is a beautiful piece!

The misty look in the background is very nice. And I actually really like the pattern overlay you used on her clothes. It adds a little somehing extra and still looks good. And I like the fact that the bottom of the image is darker but at the top there's a nice contrast from the use of the darker more prominent trees. You're amazing. Keep up the good work. :+fav:

Lovely. Reminds me of this character in a book I read called Lireal. Oh, I love it!! :heart:
